Cages Victoria Enterprises

Sustainable aquaculture for improved food security

SEED Starter Team Sustainable Agriculture Nairobi, Kenya

The programme helped us provide quality services to high-tech aquaculture industry actors, who require skills beyond those limited to traditional fishing activities. Accordingly, it has also helped us to establish the business with technology-oriented mindset when it comes to product delivery and advertisement.

SEED Starter, through a market survey, helped us achieve better market penetration and better sales.

There is a need to promote sustainable aquaculture development to counter the declining production from capture fisheries to positively contribute towards food security, generate income and create employment to Ralayo Community members.

Cages Victoria Enterprises (CV) is a microenterprise specializing in tilapia aquaculture. The enterprise is geared toward leveraging sustainable aquaculture to alleviate poverty and improve food security in the region.

CV breeds fish in four ponds along the Lake Victoria shores in Kenya. CV currently has two grow-out floating cages in Lake Victoria in the Siaya County of Kenya. Each of the two cages has the capacity to stock 2,000 fish. The business is envisioned to have a total of 24 cages by December 2020. The target annual peak production is 5 metric tonnes of whole fish by 2020.
